HELLO ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE! I got sooooooooooooo many reviews! (squeals and dances) I'm not going to do everyone individually cause that would take a long time and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to.

At least two people went: "What? Another insane asylum fic?" (of course some said "How original!")I know actually what you mean, while I was working on this one I saw at least five others that were in an insane asylum and I was freaking out thinking they be just like mine, well guess what? THEY WEREN'T! So don't give up on me yet or on your own stories forall you fellow writers! The setting in my story may be in an insane asylum but it will soon move to a much different location. (cough, cough) Well another person pointed at that the people in the asylum didn't seem very insane, that's kinda true, but may I remind you that the really insane ones are in Red Wing. Most of the characters don't have specific disorders, mostly cause that's not the main point of the story. (eats cake and ice cream given by Atemu Yugi Lover34)

And finally WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE LEARN! ME have a fic WITHOUT BAKURA? (has heart attack) No, no, he'll be there don't worry.

Just a note, this fic is mostly effected by the first series of Yuugiou. (and I can spell it any way I want)

This chapter brought to you by the wonderous game of PSO and tea ((the drink not the person))remining you that Yugioh GX sucks pond scum through a straw, a dirty straw,and I don't own the wonderous original Yuugiou characters.

Chyaputa 2: Queen's Knight

"Go ahead, pick a card, any card," Pegasus said spreading out a deck of playing cards out onto the table.

"No I'm sorry, I really can't..." Yugi tried to explain but the man wouldn't listen.

"Come on, please, just once, I'm getting better I promise. Please just one more time," he pleaded the young gray haired man, looking strangely threatening with a large black eye patch covering one of his eyes.

"Okay, okay, but only one more time," Yugi answered reluctantly, Jounouchi snickering over his shoulder. Yugi picked a card.

"No!" the American exclaimed. Yugi and Jounouchi cringed in surprise. "Not that one!"

"Why not?" Jounouchi asked critically.

"Because you're not supposed to pick that one!" Pegasus shouted, glaring at the blonde menacingly with his one good eye. Jounouchi cringed and hid behind Yugi's small form.

"Okay, how about this one?" Yugi pointed to yet another face down card.

"Nope, not that one either."

"This one?" Yugi asked bored pointing to another random card.

"Um… yeah, that one's fine," the man answered after a moment. Yugi sighed and picked the card up.

"Memorize it, show it to Jounouchi, don't let me see it," he instructed shuffling the rest of the cards into a neat pile. Yugi showed the card to Jounouchi. Then placing both hands around his head Pegasus closed his eyes. "I am now going to read you're mind…" he explained mystically.

Jounouchi snorted with disbelief. Pegasus shot a glare at him.

"Quiet! This requires concentration," he hissed and started to hum loudly.

"This is ridiculous," Jounouchi groaned.

"Your card is…" Pegasus announced dramatically, "The Three of Clubs!"

Yugi looked at his card again. "Nope."

"No?" the man asked confused.

"It's not the Three of Clubs," Jounouchi repeated loudly and slowly as if Pegasus was deaf.

"Oh, well then it's obviously the…" He screwed his face up in concentration again. "The Jack of Hearts!"

Yugi looked at the card again. "Nope."

"Seven of Spades?"

"No."

"King of Diamonds?"

"Not even close," Jounouchi commented.

"Twelve of Hearts?"

"Sorry," Yugi said and flipped the card around. "It's the Eight of Diamonds."

"Goddamn! I was so close…" the man said whispering to himself in his native English tongue. "Just one more, I'm sure I can get it. Come on just one more time."

"No, I'm sorry, Pegasus-san," Yugi refused trying not to insult the man. "I really don't have time," Yugi explained slowly backing away from the table.

"Please just one more time, I was so close. Please just-"

"He said, no!" Jounouchi repeated fiercely. Pegasus frowned and finally turned and started walking away.

"I don't understand, it always worked before…" Pegasus mumbled to himself, shuffling his deck of cards sadly.

Jounouchi breathed. "Phew, that guy is really creepy."

"You didn't need to snap at him Jounouchi-kun," Yugi said.

"That guy needed it, believe me," Jounouchi explained knowledgeably. "You're too nice to people Yugi, you got to start getting tough or people will walk all over you."

"Oh, I couldn't do that," Yugi protested slumping in his chair.

"Mutou Yugi," a nurse examining a clipboard called out to the people in the waiting room.

"That's me," Yugi announced sitting up and rising his hand.

"Ishtar-sensei will see you in a moment," the women explained. Yugi nodded.

"Thanks for coming with me, Jounouchi," Yugi said. The blonde grinned.

"My pleasure, couldn't leave you alone, could I? Not with that Ishtar-sensei around," he muttered darkly.

Yugi blinked. "What's wrong with her?"

"She's the one cutting up all the aliens, remember?" he explained as if this were the most obvious thing in the world. "You got to watch out for her," he advised secretly to Yugi in a whisper.

"I met her before and she didn't seem so bad to me," Yugi explained but Jounouchi just shook his head.

"Mutou Yugi," The nurse called again. "Ishtar-sensei will see you now." Yugi got up and walked toward the nurse.

"Good luck," Jounouchi cheered behind him. Yugi gave him a small wave before following the nurse down the hallway to the physiatrist's office.

Jounouchi looked up at the clock impatiently.

'Yugi's late,' he thought seriously, chin resting upon his fist. Honda noticed where he was looking.

"What is it now, Jounouchi? Do you think Ishtar-sensei's had enough time to dissect Yugi's brains yet?" he said snickering.

"I hadn't even thought of that!" Jounouchi exclaimed seriously, sitting up stunned in his chair. Honda groaned and shook his head sadly.

"Don't get so excited," Otogi muttered wearily, combing out his hair as carefully and as lovingly as one might stroke a cat. "Look, there he is now." Jounouchi jumped up in his seat to turn around. Yugi's slightly slouched form was gradually making its way toward them, walking slowly and staring at the floor.

"Yugi!" Jounouchi exclaimed as he approached. "Are you alright?" he asked seriously, checking the back of his head for incisions. "She didn't open you up, did she?" he asked worriedly. Yugi shook his head gloomily.

"No, I'm fine…" he answered, dropping down on a bench beside the table.

"The food's here," Honda said helpfully, seeing the depression on Yugi's face as well. "Only came a few minutes ago. Should be still warm too!"

"Thanks," Yugi muttered as a tray was passed to him. Jounouchi watched as his vertically challenged friend moodily picked through his noodles from across the table.

'The alien lady must have gotten to him,' Jounouchi speculated. Honda had just made a nasty comment about Otogi's hair and Otogi had proceeded to straggle him but not even that had been enough to break Jounouchi out of his thinking trance. Yugi was looking down into his cup of tea, perhaps pondering if the liquid was hot enough to burn him or if there was enough of liquid in the cup to drown himself.

Yugi's mind was too preoccupied to notice as Otogi began to beat Honda with his comb. His session with Ishtar hadn't been so bad until she had brought up the subject of his school.

"Oh, its nothing important. Like I said some people just don't like me that well," Yugi explained trying to remain lighthearted. "Some guys just like to push people around for fun… and, you know, take their money and stuff…"

Ishtar put down her clipboard sternly. "And what happens when you don't give them money or when you don't have it?"

"Look, it's not that big of a deal," Yugi tried to explained.

"Bullying is a big deal, Yugi," Ishtar explained seriously. "First it's just name calling, then its a little push in the hall, then they want money, if you let yourself be shoved around and picked on, the result could be serious injures, Yugi," she explained very sternly, blue eyes constantly examining him. "Did you tell anyone?"

"No, it wasn't a big deal," he muttered quietly, very ashamed.

"You can't let people push you around," she said sternly. "You do know, if you're getting bullied here you can tell me."

"Yes, I know, Ishtar-sensei," Yugi mumbled.

Every adult sense kindergarten had told him that, it didn't make Yugi any more inclined to follow their advice.

"Yugi, can you tell me why the bullies have stopped attacking you recently?"

How was he supposed to answer that question?

'They suddenly got tried of picking on me?' Yugi pondered humorlessly. How could he honestly answer a question that he didn't know the answer to?

"Do you know what happened to them?"

It's not like he had lied to her. He was actually telling the truth. He really didn't know what had happened to them. If he didn't know, if he couldn't remember, how was he supposed to answer?

'What did she expect me to say? Yes, I'm a cold-blooded killer, please lock me up forever, put me in a straight jacket and never let me see the light of day again?' Meanwhile Jounouchi was still watching his new friend across the table.

'I've got to cheer him up,' Jounouchi concluded after his several minutes of hard thoughtful thinking. He felt a new fire burning in him, a new reason for his existence in this cruel prison.

"Hey Yugi, do you have next period off?" Jounouchi asked already a plan formulating in his mind.

Yugi looked up out of his depressed stupor. "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm free for the rest of the day."

"Then lets go to the game room!" Jounouchi said enthusiastically. Honda and Otogi looked up from their quarrel.

"Great idea!" Honda exclaimed. "It's bingo day!"

"Honda, nobody cares about bingo. It's an old person game," Otogi explained. Honda glared at him.

"Hey! There are lots of hip young people playing it too!" he protested. Otogi rolled his eyes.

"A game room?" Yugi asked, a lot more interested now. "I love games! What kinds of games do they have?"

Jounouchi grinned; already his plan was a success. "You can see when we get there! We can go after lunch!"

"Really?" Yugi asked excitedly. Jounouchi nodded vigorously. "Wow, a game room..." Yugi muttered to himself and began to eat enthusiastically.

(-) (-) (-) (-) (-) (-) (-) (-) (-) (-) (-) (-)

"Well, here it is!" Jounouchi said opening his arms out wide. Yugi followed closely behind him.

"Wow..." Yugi said eyes widening with anticipation.

The room was about half the size of the lunchroom. Tables had been set up in the space with various board games on of their surfaces and several arcade games along the walls. In one corner a nurse was calling out numbers on little balls while eagerly awaiting patients placed tiny blue tokens on their bingo sheets. Other staff members were scattered around the room observing the games and making sure the patients were using them correctly.

"Bingo, here I come!" Honda shouted gleefully and ran across the room to get his own bingo sheet. Otogi, again, rolled his eyes, flipped his hair and then walked over to a table where patients were playing some kind of game with a deck of cards and dice.

"So, what do you want to do first?" Jounouchi asked. Yugi looked around the room again, his eyes three times the size than they had been when he had been contemplating his death by tea drowning.

"That looks fun!" Yugi said excitedly running over to a fighting adventure arcade game. "They have one of these in the department store near my house. I love this game!"

"Alright!" Jounouchi announced importantly, rolling up his sleeves, "I'll go first!"

"Go Jounouchi-kun!" Yugi cheered jumping up and down next to the machine. Five minutes later Jounouchi had lost three times, in very first level, in the first stage.

"Its okay Jounouchi-kun, you tried your best," Yugi said trying to comfort him.

"I think this game cheats," he muttered darkly. "There is no way anyone can get past that gate thing at level one!"

"Let me try," Yugi said hopped up to the controls. "Ah, here! There's a hidden chest behind this rock," Yugi pointed to his friend as the screen light up and proclaimed that he had found a magic sword.

"Really? I didn't see that…"

Yugi's tiny magician battled past the Gate of Betrayal and through the Labyrinth of Darkness; Yugi's large purple eyes always fixed upon the screen.

"Wow, Yugi! You're really good!" Jounouchi exclaimed.

Yugi grinned as the game sounded a series of loud screeching beeps as he burned up five green goblin guards at one time and Yugi's score rose. A few minutes later Yugi had a small crowd around him and Jounouchi, even one or two nurses stopped to watch Yugi play.

"You're awesome, Yugi!" cheered Jounouchi. The crowd around Yugi cheered too and Yugi's face turned bright red.

"Its nothing, really, I'm just good at this game…" he protested trying to enter his name into the machine as multiple people tried to slap him appreciatively on the back. Jounouchi laughed nudging his elbow into Yugi's side.

"Nothing? Yugi, you got in the High Scores on your first try!" Jounouchi said grinning broadly. "What do you want to do now?"

"Why don't we check out the board games?" Yugi suggested.

"Okay," Jounouchi agreed and they walked over to where most of the board games were being played. "Looks like most of them are crowded though."

"What about over there?" Yugi asked pointing to a pair of empty tables with chess sets on them.

"Oh," Jounouchi said uneasily. "Um… I don't want to go over there."

"Why not?" Yugi asked curiously. Jounouchi pointed to a loan dark figure at the end of the second table. It was Kaiba, the cold stoic teenage from the day before. He had a chess game set up in front of him and it looked like he was playing by himself.

"Its okay, Jounouchi-kun. We won't bother him," Yugi assured his friend before walking over to the chess tables anyway, Jounouchi mouthing silent protests behind him.

"Hey, Kaiba-kun," Yugi greeted before Jounouchi could stop him. Kaiba raised his head and stared at Yugi for a second and then his eyes drifted over to Jounouchi and he scowled.

"What are you doing over here, idiot?" he said coolly. Jounouchi growled.

"For you're information, Kaiba," he spat like he was trying to get rid of some disgusting taste in his mouth. "Me and Yugi were just going to play chess by ourselves, thank you very much. So if you don't mind we'll just go and play happily over here, away from you."

"I see enough of your face at night, Jounouchi," he explained with equal disgustance. "I thank ever moment I don't have to look at it," he said coolly again and turned his attention back to his own game. Jounouchi snarled about to say something else but Yugi pulled him away to end of the other table.

"Oh I'm going to KILL that bastard!" Jounouchi growled, glaring at Kaiba from across the tables.

"Just forget about him, come on lets play," Yugi said setting up the pieces on the chessboard. "You want to be white or black?"

"Which one goes first?" Jounouchi asked.

"White," Yugi answered.

"Then come my little white minions! Together we will storm the fortress of darkness! Besides," Jounouchi said logically to his tiny white army, "there is no way Yugi can be as good at chess as he is at arcade games." But it turned out Yugi was just as good, if not better, at chess as he was at arcade games. No matter how hard Jounouchi tried there was no way he could get close enough to Yugi's side to even check his king. In the end, Yugi had won three games and Jounouchi had won none.

"God Yugi, how did you get so good?" Jounouchi asked in the middle of their fourth game.

"My grandfather owns a game shop and he loves chess," Yugi explained moving his rook to capture Jounouchi's queen. "And we used to play together a lot."

"ARG!" Jounouchi exclaimed laying his head on the table at the loss of his queen. "I give up. You win," he sighed. He rolled his head to the side and spotted Kaiba watching them from across the tables. "What you looking at, rich bastard?" Jounouchi asked as he lifted his head up from the table to glare at the other teen. Kaiba glared back at him.

"Nothing," he said and turned back to his game.

"Oh I see," Jounouchi said slyly. "You're trying to steal my strategy, aren't you?"

Kaiba snorted. "The only reason I would steal your strategy would be if I wanted to learn the most pathetic way to lose."

"WHAT!" Jounouchi cried outraged.

"I was actually watching Yugi play, not that its any of you're concern," he explained. Yugi blinked. Kaiba had been watching him? Suddenly an idea popped into Yugi's head and fell out of his mouth before he even realized it he had said it.

"You want to play against me, Kaiba-kun?" Jounouchi looked appalled. Kaiba stared, somewhat taken aback.

"Yugi are you crazy?" Jounouchi cried.

"No, I'm completely serious," Yugi said and turned to Kaiba. "So how about it?" The other teen stared at him, intense blue eyes examining him carefully, expression completely emotionless.

"I don't think so," he answered finally, turning his face back to his game.

"WHAT!" Jounouchi exclaimed again, shaking with fury.

"Why not?" Yugi asked disappointed.

"My skill level is much higher than yours," he explained candidly. "I don't think you'd be enough of a challenge to entertain me." Yugi was about to protest when Jounouchi suddenly stood up. His eyes were sharp, slightly dangerous and even more serious than Yugi had ever seen them.

"Don't look down at Yugi, Kaiba!" The blonde's voice cold, his eyes flashing as he slammed his fist down on the table. "You might call me names and insult me but I won't let you insult my friend!"

"Jounouchi-kun," Yugi said amazed that Jounouchi could sound so serious.

"And? What do you plan to do about it?" Kaiba asked mildly as if this conversation didn't deserve his full attention.

"You might have watched Yugi from over there in your safe little corner, but you haven't played against him, so you don't know how good he is," Jounouchi continued. "Or is the real reason you won't play against him because you haven't played against a real human in such a long time that you think you've gone rusty?"

'Jounouchi...' Yugi thought, bowing his head. 'Is this what its like to have friends?' he wondered. If he searched through his memories was there ever a time in his life when he had real friends? Friends that he could trust, friends that could trust him! He had only known Jounouchi for two days. Could he already be the best friend Yugi had ever had? After being alone for so long, was it even possible?

"Besides he beat the shit out of that machine over there," Jounouchi said back to his old self, jabbing his thumb behind him at arcade game. "He's a good gamer, Kaiba. Don't look down at him," he finished grinning broadly.

'Thank you, Jounouchi-kun...' Yugi said silently. Kaiba stared at Jounouchi with the same unemotional stare then his eyes slowly shifted over to Yugi's bowed head. Kaiba sighed.

"Whatever," he said coolly. "I'll play against you." Yugi raised his head surprised. "Besides Makeinu is right-"

"Makeinu! Kaiba, you bastard-" Jounouchi started pointing threateningly at Kaiba.

"I am out of practice. Just don't expect me to go easy on you," he interrupted smirking at Yugi.

"Thanks, Jounouchi-kun," Yugi started, but Jounouchi brushed his words away.

"Just beat the crap out of him, okay?" He gave Yugi two thumbs up. Yugi smiled and nodded.

"Not likely," Kaiba answered coldly as he set up the chess pieces for the beginning of the game. "I've been playing chess sense I was a four, and I've never lost," he added. Yugi sat down across from Kaiba suddenly feeling nervous. Jounouchi pulled up a chair next to his friend.

"Egotistical bastard," Jounouchi growled from across the table. Kaiba acted as though he couldn't hear him. "Don't worry, I have complete faith in you!" Jounouchi said clapping Yugi on the shoulder. Kaiba mutely slid the board so that Yugi had the black pieces toward him.

"I go first," he explained and moved his center white pawn forward two spaces. As the game progressed Yugi saw that Kaiba was actually quite good. His moves were strong and solid and he set traps for Yugi while getting steadily closer to Yugi's king.

"Is this really all you've got?" Kaiba asked Yugi coldly as he took prisoner of one of Yugi's knights. "Maybe Jounouchi's overestimating your skill." He had already taken Yugi's queen and both bishops while Yugi only had two of Kaiba's pawns. Kaiba had also managed to place his own queen in the middle of Yugi's pieces.

"Shut your face, Kaiba," Jounouchi threatened. "The game isn't over yet!"

Kaiba grinned smugly. "It's your move," he said coldly.

'What should I do?' Yugi asked silently, his eyes looking frantically searching the board for a solution.

"You can do it, Yugi!" Jounouchi said supportively. Yugi glanced at his friend.

'Jounouchi, you really think I can win? You're trying to cheer me up even though I'm losing.' Yugi looked down at his pieces.

"He's a good gamer, Kaiba. Don't look down at him…"

'I want to win,' Yugi thought, his hands clenched on the table. A fire was burning in his chest. 'I want to win! I want to prove Jounouchi's right about me! But how can I? I don't know what to do!'

All the sudden, an odd warm feeling spread through his chest like a great weight had just been removed. Yugi sighed as a tingling sensation pricked across his right hand like someone had put their hand over his.

We can defeat him, aibou. I'll help you…

Completion of CHAPTER 2! YAY! Ending was kinda cheesy but WHO CARES! GO JOUNOUCHI! YAY!

Ooooo, more mysterious. How will Kaiba and Yugi's game end? And what could be the repercussions?

Two weeks was too long, maybe I'll go back to one week depends on how many reviews I get and how good a week I have or how much homework I get. I'm really just stalling until I can finish my next story but I'm kinda getting bored.

SO REVIEW! AND MAKE ME HAPPY!

REVIEW!
